Objectives: This study sought to examine and compare the incidence and progression of
coronary artery calcium (CAC) among persons with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and …

Objectives: We compared the prevalence and extent of coronary artery calcium (CAC)
among persons with the metabolic syndrome (MetS), diabetes, and neither condition …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of healthy arterial aging (long-
term coronary artery calcification [CAC] of 0) among individuals with metabolic syndrome …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been termed a “coronary disease equivalent”, yet data suggest
that only those DM subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS) are at increased coronary risk …

Objectives: We sought to examine the age and gender distribution of coronary artery calcium
(CAC) by diabetes status in a large cohort of asymptomatic individuals. Background: Among …

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a marker of atherosclerosis, and CAC progression is
independently associated with all-cause mortality in the general population but not …

Importance Although the risk of type 2 diabetes is considered to be equivalent to coronary
heart disease (CHD) risk, there is considerable heterogeneity among individuals for CHD …

OBJECTIVE—Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is associated with cardiac events and the
likelihood of inducible myocardial ischemia. Because metabolic syndrome contributes to …

Metabolic syndrome was associated with the presence and quantity of coronary artery
calcium, a marker of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, in 1,129 asymptomatic adults …

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) has been previously associated with atherosclerotic plaque
disease and coronary events. Thus, identifying predictors of CAC progression may provide …
